If you’ve been holding off on buying a zero turn electric riding mower until a model came out with easily replaceable batteries, well, RYOBI has your back. While other brands have done this in the past, RYOBI is expanding its 80V ecosystem with a 30-inch zero-turn riding mower that’s completely dependent on lithium-ion packs instead of lead-acid batteries. Down to $4,799 right now, you’re saving $561 from the normal going rate and enjoying a new all-time low that we’ve tracked at Home Depot. We also have a wide selection of Tesla and e-bike discounts in today’s New Green Deals, so you won’t want to miss that either.

Head below for other New Green Deals that we’ve found today and of course Electrek’s best EV buying and leasing deals. Also, check out the new Electrek Tesla Shop for the best deals on Tesla accessories.

RYOBI’s 80V lithium-ion riding mower falls to new low

Today only, as part of its Special Buy of the Day, Home Depot is offering a wide range of battery-powered yard care tools on sale. Our top pick is the latest RYOBI 80V HP Brushless 30-inch Zero Turn Riding Lawn Mower for $4,799 shipped. Typically $5,360 or so at Home Depot lately, our last mention of a similar model was back in March at $5,799 for comparison. In fact, this marks a new all-time low that we’ve tracked and comes in as one of the first discounts that we’ve seen on the latest lithium-ion riding mower from RYOBI. For years, you would have only been able to purchase a lead-acid battery-powered mower from RYOBI if you didn’t want an ICE engine mowing your yard. Well, that’s all changed with this model. If you’re not sure what the benefit is for going lithium-ion instead of lead-acid is, well, lead-acid batteries are notoriously more difficult to replace and they typically don’t have nearly as long of a life as lithium-ion. So, this is one reason why many avoid the older style in favor of the newer models. The 80V batteries here deliver around as much power as a normal 28 HP gas engine, but without having to deal with fossil fuels, spark plugs, oil, or even the same noise associated with normal mowers.

Now, onto the features of this specific mower. You’ll find an LCD display that shows runtime, battery life, and more alongside a mobile app lets you monitor charge time and battery life remotely. The control system is a bit different than what you’d be used to, however. Using the iDrive system, RYOBI’s 30-inch riding mower here utilizes a one-handed joystick to stead itself around. You’ll still find the standard zero-turn experience here, but without having to move the arms of the mower around like traditional models. That makes it a bit easier to drive and nicer to use overall. Underneath, there’s a 30-inch cutting path and bagging system here to help pick up the clippings and keep your yard looking nice and tidy. And, like we’ve already said, this mower doesn’t require any gas or oil to run. If your home has solar panels, it can even be operated completely green, making this riding mower a solid choice for those trying to reduce their reliance on fossil fuels.

Juiced’s RipCurrent S e-bike goes over 70 miles per charge

Juiced Bikes is currently offering its RipCurrent S E-Bike on sale for $1,899 shipped. Down $500 from its normal rate of $2,399, today’s deal comes in at 21% off and delivers a new all-time low that we’ve tracked. In fact, this discount is $200 below the previous sale that we tracked mid-March during Juiced’s previous best sale of the year yet. This e-bike was upgraded about a year ago to have some improved specs and performance. Featuring a new G2 52V 19.2Ah battery, you’ll find that the Juiced RipCurrent S e-bike packs a 1,000W motor which can propel it up to 28 MPH with relative ease. On top of that, the new battery allows for over 70 miles of range which lets you to get to or from work without having to plug in mid-day.

Opting for the Juiced RipCurrent S e-bike instead of traditional transportation this spring is a great way to help cut down on your carbon footprint. It doesn’t require trips to the gas station to fill up and if you have off-grid power at home, like solar panels, then the e-bike can even be charged completely green as well. That’s a pretty big benefit for those trying to reduce their reliance on fossil fuels. Not only that, but with the pedal assist functionality, you can get some exercise on the way to work but ensure you don’t arrive wore out from a hard ride as the bike can do a majority of the heavy lifting on hills and the like as well. Learn more about the Juiced RipCurrent S e-bike in our previous coverage.

Spring savings offer best prices of the year on Segway Ninebot electric scooters from $400

Amazon is now offering the Segway Ninebot MAX Electric Kick Scooter for $469.99 shipped just in time for spring. Normally fetching $600, we’ve seen this sell for $700 or more over the past few months with today’s offer landing at a new Amazon low. It’s $30 under the previous discount from February while also undercutting the Black Friday price by that same amount. Centered around a 350W motor, this Segway scooter will have you hitting the streets at up to 18.6 MPH with all of the expected electric vehicle perks.

All of that makes it a notable way to cruise around town this summer and into the cooler weather arriving this fall.

Mercedes-Benz offers an exclusive first look at the new electric GLC

Mercedes-Benz is gearing up to unveil the electric version of its best-selling SUV, the GLC, later this year. With its official debut just around the corner, Mercedes revealed a few new details, offering an exclusive first look at the new EV.

Mercedes offers an exclusive look at the new electric GLC

Although we got a sneak peek of the electric SUV in March during winter testing in Northern Sweden, Mercedes is giving us a better idea of what to expect.

“We’re not just introducing a new model – we’re electrifying our top seller,” Mercedes-Benz Group CEO, Ola Källenius, said on Thursday.

Mercedes promises the electric GLC “sets new standards” with a sleek new design, advanced tech, and its new MB.OS operating system.

The new GLC EV is an upgrade over the current model, offering significantly more space and improved ride quality. Since the wheelbase is 3.1″ longer than the current gas-powered SUV, the electric version has more legroom and headroom for front and rear passengers.

With all the seats folded, the electric SUV offers 61.4 cubic feet of space. The gas-powered model features up to 56.3 cubic feet of cargo space. Plus, you get an extra 4.5 cu ft of space in the trunk (front trunk).

Källenius said that with Mercedes’ new 800V electric architecture and latest batteries, the electric GLC can regain around 260 km (161 miles) WLTP range in just ten minutes. He added that DC fast charging at over 320 kW is possible.

The GLC 400 4MATIC with EQ Technology will arrive with impressive towing capability of up to 5,291 lbs. In comparison, the Tesla Model Y can only tow up to 3,500 lbs.

Added features, such as ESP trailer stabilization and trailer maneuvering assistant, make it even easier to tow with optimized stability and control.

Källenius also teased the new electric GLC design, calling it the start of a “new era” and “a new face of the brand as the first in a family of upcoming vehicles.”

The inside is just as impressive, providing a holistic experience. A “majestically floating next generation MBUX Hyperscreen” is optional, providing a spatial experience powered by the new MB.OS supercomputer.

Mercedes will unveil the new electric GLC at the 2025 International Motor Show in Munich on September 7, 2025.

Although official range figures will be revealed at the event, according to Car and Driver, which tested a prototype model, Mercedes said it expects the new GLC to provide a WLTP range of just over 400 miles, or slightly more than 300 miles on the EPA scale, from a 94.5 kWh battery.

Prices will also be announced in due time, but given that the current GLC 350e 4MATIC PHEV starts at $59,900 in the US, you can expect the electric model to be priced slightly higher, at around $65,000.

Tesla (TSLA) pushes its shareholders annual meeting all the way to November, but why?

Tesla (TSLA) pushes its shareholders annual meeting all the way to November, but why?

Tesla (TSLA) announced its 2025 annual shareholders meeting at the very last minute, and it pushed it all the way to November, the latest it has ever held the meeting.

Tesla generally holds its annual meeting in the summer and announces it way ahead of time.

Today, the automaker announced that the meeting will be held on November 6:

The board of directors (the “Board”) of Tesla, Inc. (“Tesla”) has designated November 6, 2025 as the date of Tesla’s 2025 annual meeting of shareholders (the “2025 Annual Meeting”).

This is highly unusual for Tesla. Here are the dates of Tesla’s last 5 annual meetings:

  • 2020: September 22, 2020
  • 2021: October 7, 2021
  • 2022: August 4, 2022
  • 2023: May 16, 2023
  • 2024: June 13, 2024

At those meetings, shareholders vote on several matters, including the reelection of directors and shareholders’ proposals.

Tesla has not released any yet, but they are expected to be in the upcoming proxy statement, which Tesla should release in the coming weeks.

Why does Tesla need more time?

Electrek’s Take

I think Tesla is working on some proposals that are going to take time to put together and then to sell to shareholders – hence why the meeting is set for November.

There are two suspects: a new CEO compensation package for Musk or a merger/acquisition of xAI.

It could also be both, but I think that would be harder to swallow for some shareholders as both initiatives have a clear aim of giving Musk a bigger stake in Tesla.

I think sane investors should not want that, but Tesla shareholders don’t fit in that category. Much of Tesla’s value is attached to Musk’s lies and ridiculous predictions. The value will have to come down to reality at some point, but they are a bunch of gamblers who are enjoying the ride in the meantime.

NIO (NIO) opens orders for the new three-row Onvo L90, starting at under $30,000

NIO (NIO) opens orders for the new three-row Onvo L90, starting at under ,000

A three-row electric SUV for less than $30,000? Sign me up. NIO (NYSE: NIO) opened pre-orders for the new Onvo L90 on Thursday, starting from 193,900 yuan, or about $27,000.

NIO kicks off Onvo L90 pre-orders in China

NIO claims the Onvo L90 is the lightest full-size three-row SUV in its class, with a curb weight just under 5,000 lbs (2,250 kg). In comparison, the Lucid Gravity has a curb weight of 5,966 lbs (2,712 kg).

The new flagship model is designed as a family-friendly SUV, offering ample interior space and advanced technology.

At 5,145 mm long, 1,998 mm wide, and 1,766 mm tall, the Onvo L90 is slightly bigger than the Lucid Gravity. In China, it will go head-to-head with higher-end electric SUVs like Li Auto’s L9.

However, the L9 is an extended-range electric vehicle (EREV) and starts at around 409,800 yuan ($57,000), more than double the price of the Onvo L90.

The low price of 193,900 yuan ($27,000) applies only to those who rent the battery. Nio’s Battery as a Service (BaaS) costs 899 yuan ($125) a month. With the battery included, the Onvo L90 still starts at just 279,900 yuan ($39,000).

Nio’s new electric SUV is offered in six and seven-seat configurations. The interior features a massive 17.2″ floating infotainment screen at the center.

Other interior highlights include a three-zone climate control system, massage, heating, and ventilation for every seat, as well as an additional entertainment screen for rear passengers. And like many new vehicles in China nowadays, it even comes with a built-in refrigerator.

Powered by an 85 kWh battery, the Onvo L90 offers a CLTC range of 605 km (367 miles). It’s also based on NIO’s next-gen 900V platform, unlocking class-leading energy consumption of just 14.5 kWh per 100 km.

Buyers can choose from single and all-wheel-drive powertrains. The AWD version boasts up to 590 hp (440 kW), good for a 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) sprint in just 4.7 seconds.

NIO is offering an incentive for early pre-order holders. Those who place an order with a 2,000 yuan deposit will receive a 5,000 yuan credit off the vehicle and an extra 5,000 yuan for optional features and more. Nio plans to begin delivering Onvo L90 to customers, starting on August 1.

The L90 is the second Onvo-branded EV to arrive in China, following the smaller L60, launched last September.
